I agree with #6. If you've got a decent SDTV, adding a HD box and using the S video or component outs does improve the picture tremendously.
The bottom line is that digital improves reception. If I compare my TV's reception of digital vs. analog, even on SD material, the digital wins hands down. There's no ghosting, no static, no washing out. It's just as good as it can possibly be.
If you look at the NAB's rfq for set top boxes for the digital transition, you see that the boxes will have 2 outputs: coax and composite. Neither is as good as S video or component, but I suspect both will be a huge improvement over analog.
